1925 Gehrig Rookie Exhibits Card

[BeanTown]

Scott, great examples and thanks for sharing. So, it sounds like you cant go wrong with either the 1925 or 1926 Gehrig exhibit. Reminds me of Mantle rookies. 1951 Bowman vs 1952 Topps.

Ummmm...no. 51 and 52 Mantles were issued by different companies. 25 and 26 Exhibit Gehrigs were issued by the same company, which is like a 54 Topps Aaron and a 55 Topps Aaron.

Ummmmm no? 1952 Topps Mantle was a SP as was the 1926 Exhibit Gehrig. So both the 1925 Gehrig and the 1951 Bowman Mantle were produced more than their counterparts in the 1926 Exhibit Gehrig and the 1952 Topps Mantle.

Rarity doesn't always equal to more valuable though. Don't want to get off topic though.

1952 Topps Mantle was a DP, hence Type 1 and Type 2

Yes true. Plus there are rumors it could be a triple print.

Don,

With all due respect to its 1926 peer, the 1925 Rookie is THE Gehrig everybody wants! 👍

Maybe one buyer with deep pockets deciding to invest in these?

Maybe a very high hidden reserve on the current one?
